Preventing any meaningful reform because of that stupid two-thirds rule we have in the state legislature. Had we been allowed to implement reforms with a simple majority like everybody else in the country, we would have had a budget surplus in this state years ago. But no longer, not after Tuesday.

Whoo Hoo! Eat it Repukes! You ain't drilling off of my coast, EVER! Not after what you did to the gulf.
